Hi Friends! It's saturday and time for another challenge with Just Us Girls! This week we are challenging you to use a template to create gift packaging and our hostess with the mostest has offered up some wonderful BLOG CANDY as incentive to try this challenge. Head on over to the JUGs blog to get a peek at the candy. I used a great Gable Box template from Kelleigh Ratzlaff Designs. Kelleigh's templates come in PDF format and PNG files that you can digitally "clip" your digital papers to before printing. Too cool for school! Since I'm pretty low tech, I use the PDF version and print right onto the back of my cardstock and away we go.
I grabbed some DP from DCWV (The Glitter Christmas Stack) and a piece of coordinating cardstock from SU! I printed the tempalte onto the back of the cardstock, cut and scored according to the template lines. The DP was cut, edger punched and scored so it would wrap neatly around the template box body. I also added a "handle" at the top using the SU! lable punch.
All that's left is the fun stuff.... to embellish! I choose a stamp from Papertrey Ink's vintage ornament set stamping light pink on cream cardstock and using a burgandy ink for the detail band across the ornament. Ribbon and tulle are fun and feminine touches to hang this ornament using a spiral clip (remember those?! loved using this piece of my "collection"). Ooohh, couldn't resist some pink glitter details either. :)
Ready to make something? We'd love it if you joined the JUGs girls with this weeks challenge.

You always know how to play and have fun with those happy paper crafting 3D templates! Love the tulle, spiral clip, and of course, the pink glitter! What a happy way to welcome in the official start to the Christmas season! :>
Dana Dana! Fabulous gift box girly - I love the DP - Kelleigh makes some awesome templates - this one turned out super cute. Love all the little touches you added to make it special. The ornament tag is lovely in pink and burgundy. Hugs across the miles! Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one.
Beautiful Job Dana! LOVE what you did!
Oh my...sweet Dana :) You always have the most unique twists on all of your projects! Can we stop for a moment and admire the way you used the spiral clip to attach your ornament to your cute little gable box not like a paper clip the way it was intended, BUT looped through the spirals?! AMAZING idea my friend! I WILL be stealing that one ;] LOVE it!!! As soon as I saw it I wanted to go use the same method to clip my tag to my gift! LOL
Your colors are fab and I love the little ornament and that pretty tulle you added! Oh, and another great idea using the word window punch to create a handle! Save this one for me girlie! Ha ha
Hope you're feeling WAY better than the past week! I've been thinking of you and praying for you and your DD. So glad you managed to play along this week...love seeing your projects ;]
